What are the tax implications of remitted income in Thailand and can a border run reset my DTV visa stay?

Kool *******

The 180 days concerning becoming a tax resident is cumulative during the year. It doesn't reset when you leave and return. Your visa resets, but not your tax liability.

Can you obtain a Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) through a Thai massage school application?

Kool *******

Any qualifying school must be registered with the ministry of education. The Way Pho, and the ITM massage schools are registered, but I don't know anyone that has tried that route, so it just might be accepted without too much hassle.

Can I apply for my wife's DTV as soon as my DTV is approved?

Kool *******

In most cases you can apply for your wife's DTV as your dependent as soon as your DTV is approved, and in many cases use your bank account, with a sponsorship letter from you to meet the financial requirements for her. Not every embassy allows this, but most do, after you get your DTV.
